My Nexus 7 was rooted and CWM installed, when 4.2 came out I thought I would update to that, so copied the zip to SD and tried to boot in to CWM, this is when the problems started.
I am unlocked.
I cannot boot in to any recovery that I install, including stock, it just reboots back to Android.
I cant boot in to a downloaded recovery image, same as above happen, although it does say on screen that it is booting in to downloaded recovery image.
I have done a full wipe and gone back to 4.11, still no joy.
Does anyone have any ideas please?

Same problem here.
try this toolkit Wug's Nexus 7 Toolkit and make sure you select "any build" at the model type settings. works well for me.
All should know wug fresh is the best on N7

I use it on windows 7 and rooting and installing TWRP is a snap.

Hello all..
So I picekd up a t-mobile tab off craigslist yesterday, which was pre-rooted (no superuser though) and has the Roto JMI rom (if that's what it is) installed with the 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1 kernel.
Last night I tried rooting/installing CWM with the one click thing, run.bat or run.sh in my case since I'm on a mac. It wouldn't work and got stuck in a recovery loop. Every time I would boot, it would go straight to recovery. So I managed to get a data wipe done and now I'm back to the way it was before.
I rooted it with SimpleOneClick and it's rooted with superuser now. I've installed rom manager, tried to flash CWM, but when I do it just says successfully installed CWM.
When I try to boot to recovery, it just stops at the 'Galaxy Tab' loading screen. No stock recovery, no CWM, no nothing. The only way to get it out of this mode is to issue an ./adb reboot bootlaoder command. After I do that, it works fine. Can start up, shut down etc.
What did I do??? Is there any way to flash the recovery via adb push like I did the first time I rooted my phone? I can't seem to find the recovery to push to the phone, so yeah.. I'm confused here.
Thanks!!

Not sure about t-mobile tabs (I've heard they can be a bit tricky) but if you can install Modaco/paulobrian kernel (thread in the dev section) then that has a fully working CWM built in. Backups and restores work perfectly with this. The "official" one from koush (sp) is abandonware...

Excellent .
I need to return it to stock before returning it, and I've got less than a week to do so. I've tried so many different methods and files, and the closest I've gotten is a stock/factory reset (with the original setup screen) with a root with Clockwork Recovery (CWR) installed.
I can't use the method in this thread, since this is for the T-Mobile version, and removing the T-Mobile apps and bootscreen would require my rooting it, which would put me back at square one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12590019&postcount=1
I did find a Wifi version of it in this post, but after flashing it multiple times (once after botching a recovery flash and being unable to boot into it), I think I found out that it's already rooted with CWR installed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14303822&postcount=3
And then I tried using this method (along with simply using fastboot to flash the stock recovery from the first link), and every time either CWR still came up, or no recovery came up and it simply booted into the OS when I tried to do the update or full factory reset option:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12355315&postcount=1
EDIT: I also found this method looking through the boards, but sadly the files are also for the T-Mobile version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12453284&postcount=1
(I can't even access the flash_image file needed because the link is invalid)
Any help? I'd rather not return the Streak in its rooted state, even if it looks stock. If all else fails...I'll just use the method in link 2 to restore it, since at least it looks stock when it first boots up...
use the t-mobile method but the WI-FI only files instead of the t-mobile ones, then when you are back to stock get gingerbreak 1.20 and unroot it (this might be optional) then root it and then unroot it again, it gets rid of CWM and Superuser. It is completely at stock for me now.
also I used fastboot to flash the stock recovery before I used gingerbreak, I don't know if that helped or not but just to be on the safe side.

I'll try that now, I'll post how it turns out. I tried using Gingerbreak to unroot earlier, but didn't think it would work since it just rebooted with no changes.
EDIT: Seems to work so far, I need to recharge before I can use the update or full reset options in the recovery and see if CWR is truly gone, but in any case, thank you so much, finally got it stock and unrooted.
Well, I tried what you said, and while I was able to remove the root through Gingerbreak, and I flashed the stock recovery through fastboot both before and after unrooting...CWR still came up. Tried rooting and unrooting it again, flashing the stock recovery through fastboot before and after unrooting again...CWR still came up.
I think I'll just give up and return it the way it is, I did a factory reset through CWR and turned it off (testing it once before that to make sure the setup screen would show and Superuser wasn't installed), I doubt anybody is going to notice anyway.

I'm in a similar situation. I tried DJ Steve's Honeystreak, got back to stock 2.2.2 but it was still rooted. Went the Gingerbreak route to unroot, root, then unroot again. Tried to flash stock update.pkg from Dell website and it booted into CWR. I would try to flash the recovery image using fastboot but 1) I don't have the recovery image and have never used fastboot and 2) it doesn't look like it would work even if I tried according to your results.
I got rid of cwr following by just following the recovery flash steps here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011654 nothing more and it was done.

I tried that as well, still has CWM, but I'm stuck in DELL logo loop. Can't flash anything successfully and can't boot into OS. Was up until 5am trying everything I read in the threads. Nothing. Everything I try gives me no errors, that's the wierd bit. All I need to do is break through the boot loop.

I tried the files from that thread, but they are for the t-Mobile version, not the wifi only version. Does anybody know where we can find a stock wifi only recovery image?

Yeah, I wouldn't bother, doubt it'd work for you if it didn't work for me the however many times I tried it.
And if you've ever done anything in adb with the Android SDK, fastboot is similar - basically, you hold volume (-) and power, wait to get into fastboot, plug it into the computer, and use:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
to flash to the recovery. That also works for boot and system.

Try doing the NVFlash method in APX mode, it's pretty much guaranteed to work. It's the method in the first link in my original post, and the files for the Wifi version are in the second post (extraded, the .rar file is like 14GB's, you only need the images p2 though p14 to flash). You'll still have root and CWR, but at least you'll be out of the boot loop and you'll still be able to at least remove root with Gingerbreak.
I know there are a million posts about this, but I have been through them all trying to follow the guidance because the problems seemed to be the same as others have faced, but I feel differently now....
I unlocked my HTC one, following the htc dev site.
I installed TWRP (I cannot for the life of me get CWM to load into reovery, it only reboots the phone...)
loaded the roms/Super SU onto the SD card.
I know my phone is rooted (or i should assume?) because SuperSU is requiring me to grant access to apps and such.
I flash the custom ROM to the phone, install the package following Revolutions steps. Complete installation, return to fastboot menu. Flash boot.img, clear cache and reboot phone....Phone goes to the HTC Quietly Brilliant screen, with the development message at the bottom and continues to reboot over and over and over from there.
What did I do wrong?
I know pretty much have a phone that wont work because even after restoring it, it is ina boot loop after it fully boots up and nothing is loading correctly. Is there any way to start this from scratch?
Notes:
I tried doing an ADB sideload of Revolution HD.
I do a factory wipe before i load any rom....
Edit:
I have tried multiple ROMS...all the same effect....
I also get the message after installing the ROM from TWRP that "your device is not rooted, swipe to install superSU" so sometimes i swipe it, sometimes i dont...either way same result.
Update #2:
I flashed a ROM called 42ONE....it ended up successfully booting past the HTC screen and is currently updating the android system...However, it will operate for about 2 minutes then the phone reboots like it was before when i tried to restore....what the heck?!?
There is no need to flash the boot.img in fastboot. Just flash the rom from twrp.

Download the rom again (might be a bad download), transfer to your sdcard, do a full wipe, and flash again. Something you flashed has created a conflict.
Edit: That's a Sprint ROM. Do you have a Sprint phone? If you've been flashing GSM roms, that's your problem there.

problem resolved so far. REflashed stock rom, relocked device. its working for now.
Hey guys, I flashed a Cyanogenmod nightly a month or so back that got my device stuck in bootloop and I'm just getting round to restoring it. I just tried WugFresh's Root Toolkit to Flash Stock + Unroot, according to the software it worked but my Nexus 7 won't boot from the bootloader at all now, not even into recovery. Are there any other methods I could try to flash a stock image?
SOLVED: I flashed an older factory image using WugFresh and that seemed to work *wipes sweat from forehead*

I am having exactly the same issue. Will you pls tell me where you got the factory image & what flash/install option/method you used in Wugfresh?
Thanks greatly.
EDIT: Found images at Google Developer site- just need to know how you flashed w/Wugfresh- which choice.
So far, I have rooted the phone. The bootloader says the device is unlocked.
Where do I go from here?
I have a ROM picked out already, it's on the SD card, on the phone, all ready to go. The problem I'm having is I have no idea how to "reboot to recovery" in the ROM instalation steps when I can't figure how to install a recovery like CWM (which doesn't seem to be avaliable for this phone?).
I've been at this for an hour and a half and so far I've made no progress other than simply frustrating myself with my inability to figure out what seems to be something so simple.
I have a fully rooted and moded Atrix2, but I was able to install CWM Recovery from google play, and it's all simple from there, but that's where I'm stuck at with this AtrixHD, I can't find a recovery to install to flash ROM, flash gapps, clear dalvic, and carry on my happy way.
I've been searching and trying more things and with no luck. It's been two hours now. I can't find a CWM Recovery to install, and TWRP just gives me dead-droid that I have to unscrew the battery connector to hard reset the phone to go back and try again.
I've been refraining from posting this, but I'm going to bed now and I've had no luck at all. Really could just use some help.
Use myth tools to install cwm. You can also download the latest cwm or Philz and flash it in fastboot mode.
Myth Tools is a windows binary, I'm running linux, so it doesn't do me much good at all.
Also, I don't know where to get the latest CWM. Haven't heard of Philz, but I'll see if I can find it. As for flashing it in fastboot mode, never done that before (since I never had to with old phone), so not entirely sure how to.
Found the how to flash a recovery finally http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Install_CM_for_mb886 no longer stuck now. Installing ROM as I type this.
Did you unlock the bootloader?

Yes, ROM is loaded onto the phone already now, I was stuck at not having CWM recovery, but I found a how-to with replacing it now.
I just wasn't having luck finding out what to do with that step. It's kinda a learning curve with installing custom roms, once you learn it, it's simple, but with every device being somewhat different and needing special steps for some devices, and different steps for others, this wasn't the same process as my old phone and it left me a bit lost and quite stuck. The URL I put above gave me everything I needed to know that I didn't already have knowledge about.
Download philz recovery and then download flashify from play store and flash recovery through it
